[PATCH v4 10/16] ima: Implement hierarchical processing of file accesses

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Tue Dec 07 2021 - 15:22:55 EST


Implement hierarchical processing of file accesses in IMA namespaces by
walking the list of IMA namespaces towards the init_ima_ns. This way
file accesses can be audited in an IMA namespace and also be evaluated
against the IMA policies of parent IMA namespaces.
